In the earlier days of computer experimentation, attempts were made for language translators. Someone decided that the definitive test would be translation to a different language and then translation back.

The attempt was made with the quote "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." from English to Russian then English.

It must have been frustrating when the computer obligingly returned "The vodka is amenable but the meat is rotten.".

A long while ago, I picked up an Isabelle Allende book that I wanted to read at a book sale. I didn't actually open the book until I got home, when I did, I found that it was written in Spanish. No problem. I decided I would translate the ENTIRE book, and pick up some Spanish in the process. The first sentence in the book should have translated to "My daughter is 27 years old." What I got back from the language translator was "My daughter has 27 anuses". I gave up and bought the book in English.

Feel free to exercise your imaginary rights under whatever Amendment you care to...

Things that a Republican believes:-

Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a religious conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iran.

Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

"Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.

If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle your long-time allies, then demand their cooperation.

HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.

Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None.

There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?
